Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Extremely easy set upon a HP DL360. Easy navigation and professional look.

Cons:

Some limitations still a pain to deal with on free version.

Installed on a HP DL360 rack mounted server. Installed and had it running in about 30 minutes. There are some functions that a home user can use or does need on the free version but considering it is a free license it is well worth the time time to install and configure. If I needed a professional system, Astaro would be the one I would choose. Would also be more than happy to get some minor additional functionality with a small charge for home/SMB user without a full blown package.
